Reilly Opelka Preview – Can Opelka defy the odds?
There was a straight-set victory for Reilly Opelka in his opening match of this year’s ATP Paris Masters.
He got the job done in straight sets as well.
But that has been a rare bit of form recently from him as Poelka has struggled since exiting the US Open.
He got through three rounds of action successfully at Flushing Meadows and hasn’t won back to back matches since that tournament.
The American’s recent form reads W2 L5 in his last seven.
Opelka is the match outright underdog in tennis betting at 7/4* (odds recorded 19:16 GMT on November 2nd 2021 at William Hill).
At the ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells, the tournament which Norrie won, Opelka was defeated in the third round by Grigor Dimitrov.
The Bulgarian was then in turn, totally dismantled in the semi-finals by Norrie so that tournament does offer perhaps a key piece of form.

Opelka has not gotten his hands on a title this year, carrying a W11 L6 record for the season ahead of Paris.
There has been some really bright moments from the 24-year-old this season however in ATP Masters 1000 events.
He reached the semi-finals of Rome in May where he lost to Rafa Nadal.
Opelka also reached the Final of ATP Masters 1000 Canada on the hard court in August, being defeated by Daniil Medvedev.
So Opelka is no forlorn hope but it’s just his current form can’t match up to that of a very confident Norrie.
